Jazz on 3 - Bobo Stenson Trio at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester

Jez Nelson presents a gig from the RNCM, performed by Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson, with Jon Falt on drums and Anders Jormin on double bass. The group showcases tracks from the recent release, Cantando, and in their conversational style play both original tracks and re-workings of compositions by musicians including Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry. Stenson's career stretches back to the 1960s, when he served as a sideman with Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz and Gary Burton. In 1971, Stenson released his debut album Underwear to critical praise. Since then he has played a pivotal role in the development of an authentic and original style of Scandinavian jazz alongside musicians such as Jan Garbarek.
